Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a mobile application on quality of life, wellness, and preventive behaviors against dementia among older adults who use senior citizen centers. Methods: Seventy-two older adults who used senior citizen centers were allocated to an intervention group (n = 36) and a control group (n = 36). The experimental treatment involved a cognitive enhancement program for preventing dementia using a mobile application for 12 sessions over 6 weeks. Data were analyzed using the t-test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, paired t-test, and independent t-test. Results: The cognitive enhancement program based on a mobile application was effective for wellness (t = -3.87, p < .001) and preventive behaviors against dementia (t = -3.98, p < .001) for older adults who used a senior center. Conclusion: The mobile application-based cognitive enhancement program developed in this study is recommended as an effective intervention for dementia prevention in older adults.

Elderly people living alone need smart care for independent living. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have allowed for easier interaction by a computer-controlled virtual human. This technology can realize services such as medicine intake guide for the elderly living alone. In this paper, we suggest an intelligent virtual human and present our virtual human toolkit for controlling virtual humans for a senior citizen living alone. To make the virtual human motion, we suggest our authoring toolkit to map gestures, emotions, voices of virtual humans. The toolkit configured to create virtual human interactions allows the response of a suitable virtual human with facial expressions, gestures, and voice.

본 연구의 목적은 K지역의 노인복지회관에서 자원봉사활동을 하고 있는 노인자원봉사자의 봉사경험을 내부자적 관점에서 이해하고 그 의미를 파악하는데 있다. 연구대상은 노인복지회관에서 자원봉사활동을 하고 있는 노인자원봉사자 15명과 2명의 사회복지사이고, 연구는 2009년 9월 2일부터 10월 21일까지 관찰과 심층면담을 통한 질적 연구방법을 사용하였다. 자료 분석은 질적 분석 프로그램인 Nvivo 2.0을 활용하였고, 분석된 자료는 Strauss와 Corbin의 근거이론에 따라 분석하였다. 연구결과, 노인의 자원봉사경험에 대한 의미는 크게 고령화 사회의 노인 정체성, 노인자원봉사를 통한 욕구 충족, 심신 건강을 돕는 다양한 여가활동, 노화에 대한 수용적 태도, 가족으로부터의 정서적 지지, 개인의 적성과 능력에 적합한 활동 찾기, 장애에 대한 인식 변화, 의미 있는 노년기를 보내기 위한 노력 등 8가지 요인으로 도출되었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과와 논의를 통해서 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 노인자원봉사에 있어 고령화 사회의 노인 정체성, 노화에 대한 수용적 태도, 가족으로부터의 정서적 지지는 참여 유발 요소이다. 둘째, 노인자원봉사 활성화를 위해 개인의 적성과 능력에 적합한 활동이 이루어져야 한다. 셋째, 노인자원봉사 참여는 노인자원봉사를 통한 욕구충족, 심신건강을 돕는 여가활동, 장애에 대한 인식변화 등의 삶의 변화가 나타난다.

노령화 사회로의 빠른 이행 중에 있는 우리나라는 노령자들의 정보소외가 심각한 경제사회적인 문제가 되었다. 정보운영능력(information literacy)을 경계로 생성되는 정보격차 문제는 국가적 차원에서 접근해야 할 문제이며, 정보배포의 인프라를 이미 갖추고 있는 공공도서관이 가장 효율적인 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 노령자들의 공공도서관에 대한 인식, 정보요구, 선호정보원, 희망교육주제 등을 비교적 건강하고 활동적인 노령자들이 다니는 노인복지관 교육프로그램 수강자를 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 파악하였다. 데이터 분석 결과 공공도서관에 대한 인식수준은 매우 낮았으며 연령대에 따라 선호 프로그램 유형이 다른 것이 확인되었다. 데이터 분석 결과를 토대로 몇 가지 제안을 하였다.

본 연구는 경로당을 이용하는 노인들을 대상으로 ICT기반 치매예방 통합프로그램을 적용하여 활력, 치매두려움 및 치매예방행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 프로그램 구성은 주 2회, 6주, 회기당 30분 분량으로 총 12회차이며 단일군 전후 실험설계이다. 자료분석은 기술통계, Paired t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient를 이용하였다. ICT기반 치매예방 통합프로그램은 경로당 노인의 활력과 치매예방행위를 증가시키고, 치매두려움은 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 ICT기반 치매예방 통합프로그램을 경로당 이용노인의 치매예방를 위해 실무현장에서 활용할 것을 권장한다.

Background: Happiness is one of the most important indicators of health, wellbeing, and quality of life among older adults. The objective of the study was to investigate factors associated with happiness among senior citizens residing in rural areas using the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 3,149 senior citizens living in rural areas using secondary data from the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans. Happiness was measured by a single question and responses were recorded dichotomously. Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed at a 5% level of significance. Results: In all, 64.5% of the participants considered themselves as happy most of the time in the last 1 week. In the study, socio-demographic factors did not predict happiness except age. Satisfaction with a health status, financial situation, relationship with children, cultural satisfaction, and satisfaction with friends and society were positively associated with happiness among senior citizens residing in rural areas of Korea. Odds of reporting happiness were higher among those who traveled in the last 1 year, visited elderly welfare centers, and were involved in voluntary work than among those who did not.

The communications through the power lines are called as the PLC and this is a common name for the communication modes for the information delivery. This technology transmits the data through the power lines on which the information is stored with the form of high frequency signal. The characteristic of the frequency signal is that the signal can be separated from the power line through exclusive power line modem and transmitted to the terminal devices. In this paper, 'In-home Headcount' checking algorithm using Wi-Fi and taking above mentioned advantages is proposed, and the basic Technology for such Solitary Senior Citizen's Lonely Death monitoring system has been designed and implemented. The comparative analysis has been conducted in this paper with the test-operated and test bed-completed 'Hyosimi 119 Safety-Welfare System' which is still being tested since 2008. With the 'In-home Headcount Checking Algorithm', Wi-Fi connection/disconnection status and SSIDs of relevant Wi-Fis will be checked. We expect that our proposed method will become as the basic Technology which can prevent lonely deaths of elderly people living alone. Since the PLC technology can be normally implement all the functions used on internet anticipate that the technology could be applied to many areas to construct a new form of communication network.
